Title: Wrong radio station.
Post by: paolo on January 24, 2021, 04:29:01 am

Hi, I have an echo dot linked to a Sonos speaker. Whenever I ask Alexa to play bbc radio 2 on the Sonos, it plays bbc radio 2 Wales. There is no problem when just asking Alexa to play radio 2 on itself, however.
I have recently upgraded from a 1st gen to a 3rd gen dot, but the issue remains the same.
Anybody else had this problem? If, so, what’s the fix?

I am not that familiar with bbc radio but if bbc2 has another name or call letters, give that a try.   since sonos is its own alexa device, you could go to the sonos community at their website.   They have an alexa section.

Seeing exactly the same behaviour too with my Dot 3rd gen and Beam. However I can play Radio 2 via the Sonos app on my IPad where the station is saved as a Tunein favourite.
